Russia Reacts to IOC's Decision to Restore Olympic Committee Rights
The Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has temporarily reinstated the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) nearly three years after its suspension. According to Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev, the IOC Executive Board also abolished all neutrality checks for Russian athletes and lifted the ban on holding international sporting events in Russia. The decision followed Russia's cancellation of the establishment of Olympic organizations in the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. The IOC has lifted restrictions on team sports and appealed to all international federations with a proposal to restore our flag, anthem, and national teams at international competitions. (...) The Russian Olympic Committee has been reinstated with full rights, Degtyarev said. According to Degtyarev, the IOC's decision removes all restrictions previously imposed on the Russian Olympic Committee.

The IOC just recommended bringing Russian athletes back to the Olympics. Here’s how Russia, Ukraine, and the West are reacting.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended lifting all restrictions on Russian athletes who had been barred from international competition following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and provisionally reinstated the Russian Olympic Committee. Since 2022, Russian athletes had either been barred from major competitions entirely or allowed to compete only as individuals in neutral status. The IOC recommendation does not automatically grant access to competitions — decisions will be made by the international federations governing each sport — but it significantly weakens the isolation of Russian sport. Meduza looked at how the decision is being received in Russia, Ukraine, and the West.
